Dear Danny,

The official website for Chinese university jobs is www.chinajob.com, which is updated almost daily. If you use it, contact the schools yourself. Don't use the server as a liaison as they are very unreliable. Another place is Angelina's ESL Cafe (a government website that obviously has stolen Dave's online name). They're postings are not updated as often, though. Better yet, contact the English departments yourself via their webpage from the university website.

Most uni or college jobs pay around 4000; some lucky ones get paid double that.
You will be teaching Speaking and Listening, perhaps Writing. Hardly any hard stuff, but a lot of hard troubles with admin and students.
